art center life: week 8

week 8

Saturday I took Joanne to the big sale at LA Eyeworks. That's where I got my latest set of spectacles from. Joanne had mentioned she had her current eye glasses for some time. So when the flyer for the sale came in the mail I knew she had to go. She ended up getting a nice pair of glasses for pretty cheap. We also had lunch at the Grove. I had never been there before and it was very nice. I also was able to find a gift for Emily's first birthday.

Greek Food!

For Tuesday's Type 4 class I was working on a website all weekend. I hate coding and websites and flash even more. Miraculously I somehow was able to figure out with help from Jesse the site and got things working for the most part. Brad, my type teacher, was happy with the outcome.

Wednesday I decided to skip Archetype. Since I wasn't able to get the screen burned I didn't have anything ready. So sleep was in order! That gave me a lot of time to work on my interactive midterm.

In the evening I went over to Parkwood for Nico's Birthday dinner. Was a nice chill evening with the usuals for a pasta dinner.

Thursday was more of the same. Arcadia H.S. in the morning and finishing up interactive in the afternoon.That was another coding pain in the ass. Somehow after lots of trial and error and trouble shooting. I was able to get that working.

Friday I skipped imaging. I wasn't going to go because I didn't think I would have interactive done. However since I was able to finish it up on thursday I decided to go to class. However when the alarm started going off I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. I didn't miss much since we had a substitute teacher. I slept in 'til around 11. Then it was up to get shit done. I went to South Campus and get some info so that I could start getting supplies for silkscreening. After a trip to get paint down in Commerce then to downtown to McLogan's I was ready to print. I still don't have the traffic mentality in my head yet. After looking at the trip time to Commerce, it was only a 20 min trip. I thought sure I can do that before I have class at 3:30. I left around 1:20. I was somehow able to get back to school by 3:00.

There was only one other person that made it to interactive. I guess a lot of people were having coding problems. Two other people ended up coming in late. Since no one was there. Ryan, our teacher looked at our projects and let us go early. We now have to rework a couple issues which is good but I thought I was finally done with this project.

Afterwords I went upstairs and hung out in the fishbowl with Dom and Joanne. Afterwords Dome came back to the house and we had some beers and pizza. Later I went to the Mentone Manor Monster Mash which was pretty chill.

Saturday I did a test print of my silkscreen, which if I say looks pretty dope. I can't wait 'til its completed. Only a couple more weeks and it will be done!
